I will be making the source code to the FENRIS (NetWare) File System =
available very soon to all of you. I need a couple of weeks to get the =
Copyright and License Notices in correctly as directed to us by Linus =
Torvalds, and to remove any Windows NT, MS-DOS, Free BSD, and BeOS =
specific portions of the code base so only the Linux code remains. =20

At present, FENRIS is a single source base that supports several =
operating systems with conditional compiles. Some of the OS specific =
portions, such as Windows NT, contain code specific to the Windows NT =
IFS and kernel that is proprietary to MS, and will only make the code =
less readable to Linux folks (and it's probably heresy to upload any =
Windows NT code into Linux anyway -- or at the very least -- very, very, =
very bad manners!!!). =20

There will be an announcement soon informing all inhabitants of the =
Planet Earth that this code will be available at www.timpanogas.com. I =
appreciate everyone being patient with us as this is the first time we =
have every open sourced anything via this process, so please be gentle =
with us.

I am the official maintainer (jmerkey@timpanogas.com) so if you see bugs =
or anything else weird, then let me know. We are **planning** June 1, =
1999 as the official date when the tarball of FENRIS code will be =
uploaded to our site, however, I will put it up as soon as I complete =
the cleanup and "beautification" of the code, which may be sooner -- but =
not later. =20

We hope this helps the Linux community. Stay tuned, after this we are =
going to provide more stuff as time goes by. An open source NDS may be =
next in the chute.
